The beasts drive him back despairing into the darkness of error, a "lower place" ( basso loco ) where the sun is silent ( l sol tace ). It is now dawn of Good Friday, April 8, with the sun rising in Aries. Sayers assigns the leopard to incontinence and the she-wolf to fraud/malice. According to John Ciardi, these are incontinence (the she-wolf) violence and bestiality (the lion) and fraud and malice (the leopard) Dorothy L. The three beasts, taken from Jeremiah 5:6, are thought to symbolize the three kinds of sin that bring the unrepentant soul into one of the three major divisions of Hell. He sets out to climb directly up a small mountain, but his way is blocked by three beasts he cannot evade: a lonza (usually rendered as " leopard" or " leopon"), a leone ( lion), and a lupa ( she-wolf). The poet finds himself lost in a dark wood ( selva oscura ), astray from the "straight way" ( diritta via, also translatable as "right way") of salvation.
The narrator, Dante himself, is thirty-five years old, and thus "midway in the journey of our life" ( Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita ) – half of the biblical lifespan of seventy ( Psalm 89:10, Vulgate Psalm 90:10, KJV). The poem begins on the night of Maundy Thursday on March 24 (or April 7), 1300, shortly before the dawn of Good Friday. Here, Dante is lost at the start of Canto I of the Inferno.
The chemistry between Dalpiaz and Lei is what adds the most sense of fun and charm to the film, and makes it a very pleasant surprise.Prelude to Hell Canto I Gustave Doré's engravings illustrated the Divine Comedy (1861–1868). To the film's credit there actually is a plot, or an attempt at a plot, including a very funny punch line. The subplot focuses on a sleazy producer (Mike Nike) who hooks up, in every sense of the word, with a lousy singer who likes to talk about her Kitty Kat. Most of the sex scenes are hot, but you don't have to wait for them to enjoy the movie. They aren't just actors awkwardly speaking in between rutting. Most refreshing about her relationships in the film is they seem like actual relationships, with downtime, laughter, conversations, as well as sex. Helping her in these efforts are her very patient manager/lover (Matt Dalpiaz) and a showbiz reporter (Leah Livingston). Cherry is well-played by the appealing Kaylani Lei. The basic plot focuses on Cherry Pop, a pop/rock star who has a block no amount of random sexual encounters can help. It's more of a comedy than a thriller, and unlike most soft porn comedies, it's not forced or over reliant on innuendo last amusing when spoken by Benny Hill. Fortunately this is a much better film than I'd expected. I barely paid attention to this the first few times it aired on the various late night channels with a title as generic as "Naked Lust," I expected another formulaic "thriller" where the bad implants and line readings were more frightening than anything else.
